Growing Guide
Sowing Time: For best results, sow directly outdoors in March–May or September (for earlier blooms the following year).
Cold Stratification: Larkspur seeds germinate best after a “cold snap.” Place seed packets in the fridge for 1–2 weeks before sowing to improve success rates.
Position: Choose a full sun location with well-drained, fertile soil.
Support: Due to their height, plants may require staking or netting in windy or exposed garden areas.
Germination: Expect seedlings to emerge within 14–21 days.
Highlights
Feature
Benefit
Vertical Accent
Adds dramatic height and “theatre” to any garden border.
Excellent for Drying
Blooms retain their colour beautifully when dried for potpourri or crafts.
Easy from Seed
A reliable grower that often self-seeds, providing beauty year after year.
Deer Resistant
Generally avoided by grazing wildlife, making it ideal for rural gardens.
Tip: For the longest-lasting cut flowers, harvest the spikes when the bottom third of the florets have just opened. To encourage a second flush of smaller blooms, remove the central flower spike once it begins to fade.
